Finally: From Mummy Nana's Oven

As you, my beloved readers of my humble blog might know, I love to EAT and dine out although doing so is not a real option at the moment. I am not working and there's a recession here, therefore I have to cook and bake anything remotely connected with food.

I've also been selling my food but in the manner of the Malay proverb, Hangat-hangat tahi ayam. Unfortunately, as not many people actually know about the existence of my blog (it's still a semi-secret thing that I don't openly share with people that I know), business hasn't actually been booming. So, after a long period of pondering and looking at my financial situation, I decided that it was about time for me to tell everyone about my business. Well, at least my contacts on Facebook as the next step.

I'm not sure whether I am shy or I cannot cope with it but I had to really push myself. I kept telling myself that I needed to start somewhere. My husband has always encouraged me but I just don't know why I don't have the guts to do it.

OK, so here I am, with a Bismillah I am officially launching my bakery business and you can browse all I have to sell at the moment on my Bakery page (I've added a link just below the blog's header) to see a summary of my home-baked goodies, some brief details, price and minimum order quantities for orders around the Dublin, Ireland area. If you are willing to collect then by all means, please contact me to arrange collection details.

Thanking you  for all the support and hope I will be able to make it a success. InsyaAllah.

A Week of Tasks for Miss Pinky

It has now been a week since I officially became the owner of my all-new Pink KitchenAid stand mixer (I'm calling her Miss Pinky). I've been experimenting with few recipes using the mixer as a tool.  Adapting a few bits from Dari Dapur Maisya this is what I've made over the last few days...

Impressive isn't it?  Macam kedai roti pulak Ahaks I am just so proud of myself. Hehehe.To be honest I've made a few buns and bread before but none of them have ever turned out as soft as these ones. Even after three days, the buns i baked were still soft without having to reheat them. Is it because of the new Miss Pinky or I did I just not get the right recipe right before this? Hmmmm... I wonder. The first batch of buns and bread I made were finished in one go.  I thought I had made too much but that certainly wasn't the case. I had to promise the kids to make some more again really soon.

I even made some doughnuts with it. My husband said it tastes just like original sugar/maple glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts except for its miniature size.

And not to forget breakfast, with my first ever home made Roti Canai  from TTM with Beef Dalcha. Nyumm... I don't have the picture as my hands were covered in oil and everytime each piece of bread was ready to eat, it's gone in one second without me having a chance to take a picture of it.

Well, that's what Miss Pinky is for, Iin't it? I'm just so glad that my husband bought it for me and I am pretty sure he agrees with me too. So get ready for the next job, Miss Pinky!

PS: Dubliners are who interested to try some home-made Curry Buns, Sambal Ikan Bilis buns, Tuna Buns, Sausage Rolls, Potato bread, etc. can contact me via private message  hokey! I'm ready to take all your orders...
